Chinoiserie Laundry Room Inspiration

Thibaut Chinese Laundry
Jennifer at The Pink Pagoda is participating in a one room challenge where a group of bloggers have each chosen a room in their home to redo in six weeks. Jennifer has chosen her laundry room. In her post yesterday, she asked for ideas. Just below is a picture of her laundry room as it exists now. I thought it would be great fun to wallpaper the entire room or perhaps just one wall in this whimsical wallpaper by Thibaut called Chinese Laundry. I especially like the colorway above that picks up the red and blue in Jennifer's laundry room. If she chooses to stay with the blue walls, I would brighten the room up with some of her own giclees in yellow as an accent color. If she chooses to go with wallpaper, I would use bamboo matchstick blinds for the window treatment. With the blue walls, a roman shade in one of Quadrille/China Seas wonderful Chinoiserie patterns would be fabulous. Add a yellow Chinese garden stool for a pop of color and a place to stack laundry or perch the laundry basket. I would love to see the ceiling fan switched out for a red lantern. On the counter next to the washer and dryer, add two monogrammed Williams - Sonoma Home apothecary jars. One will hold powdered laundry detergent with a stainless steel scoop. The other will hold a stack of dryer sheets. Add a few very chic laundry room accessories from The Laundress.
